研究実績の概要 |
This study developed an Agent-Based Model (ABM) to analyze the impact of information provision and shelter planning on tsunami evacuation behavior among foreign tourists. Osaka City's Minato Ward was used as a case study, a popular destination for foreign visitors. A field survey was conducted to understand the current status of multilingual support and shelter planning. The impact of tsunami prevention measures such as the visibility of evacuation guidance signs, multilingual support, communication availability, and increased shelter capacity on each group's evacuation rates and times was analyzed. The simulation model and scenario analysis results confirmed differences in the arrival times at shelters between foreign tourists and residents. The arrival time of foreign tourists could be reduced by providing accessible signs and multilingual support. To support the evacuation of foreign tourists, a comprehensive plan that includes increasing shelter capacity and providing multilingual information is necessary. Furthermore, the study attempted to expand the developed ABM model, gather information, and conduct an extensive literature review on tourism crisis management in Japan and other overseas countries.
